And I think part of what they're doing is they're trying to spread sort of raw terror and spread fear and attack the critical infrastructure of organizing because they want to make it look like resisting them is impossible.

Yeah, and I think a lot of times when we win fights, it can be very, very hard to actually see our victory because we don't see the world that could have been if we didn't fight. And that's the thing I think about with the first Trump administration, where during the first Trump administration, they absolutely wanted to be doing this kind of shit.

And we can never see an image of all of the people who got to continue living their lives because we stopped them. And that I think is another sort of powerful tool here.

Yeah, and I think there's been a real kind of real cowardice and a real sort of appeasement of power and a real sort of demonstration of where a lot of these unions' politics are. I mean, we saw the way that the Teamsters' leadership just openly went to speak at the RNC, right? We've been seeing the UAW, which traditionally has had better leadership
